We need to sell AMN and buy Willian? That's what improves us as a team? Really? What kind of horror summer are you planning here?
Go back to my comments on the 55 released staff.
If you think Arsenal is cutting costs on 55 staff only, then you’re mistaken. They represent 1% of our total cost bill. Our main cost cutting is going to come from the squad. The staff are an on top. Ie, if we take out a bunch of cost in the squad, the staff cost saving might be 5-10% of what end up saving in total. So it looks like a small number versus the overall cost, but it ends being a being part of the overall saving. Accept that reality very quickly. And your stress levels will be managed this summer.
The club cannot report it in the way I have explained it above because it will sound like we are not trying to compete, and going backwards after the FA cup. But that is what will happen in practice. So expect sales. And expect free transfers and loan deals, as we try to manage costs against lower and unpredictable revenue.
